Organizers of the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon announced Monday that Meb Keflezighi will run the half-marathon race May 5.

The Eritrea-born Keflezighi, 42, is one of running’s most influential figures.

He ran his final competitive marathon Sunday at New York. He was 11th in 2 hours, 15 minutes, 29 seconds, collapsing at the finish.

In the marathon, he is a silver medalist from the 2004 Olympic Games and winner at New York in 2009 and Boston in 2014. He is the only runner to have won an Olympic medal and both of those marathons.

The Mini is a “unique and special race for me,” Keflezighi said in a news release.

“I’ve never seen another race where the participants, the cheering sections, and the volunteers encourage each other quite like the Indy Mini. It’s an expression of the city of Indianapolis and the kind of people here. It’s become a special event for me, and I can’t wait to come back and run it.”
